Abraham: The Covenant

and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, `Dost thou go with this man?' and she saith, `I go.'

And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men;

and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, `Thou art our sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and thy seed doth possess the gate of those hating it.'

And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah and goeth.

And Isaac hath come in from the entrance of the Well of the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of the south,

and Isaac goeth out to meditate in the field, at the turning of the evening, and he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, camels are coming.

And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and alighteth from off the camel;

and she saith unto the servant, `Who is this man who is walking in the field to meet us?' and the servant saith, `It is my lord;' and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself.

And the servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he hath done,

and Isaac bringeth her in unto the tent of Sarah his mother, and he taketh Rebekah, and she becometh his wife, and he loveth her, and Isaac is comforted after the death of his mother.

And Abraham addeth and taketh a wife, and her name is Keturah;

and she beareth to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

And Jokshan hath begotten Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim;

and the sons of Midian are Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these are sons of Keturah.

And Abraham giveth all that he hath to Isaac;

and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham hath, Abraham hath given gifts, and sendeth them away from Isaac his son (in his being yet alive) eastward, unto the east country.

And these are the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years;

and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.

And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which is before Mamre--

the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth--there hath Abraham been buried, and Sarah his wife.

And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesseth Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.

And these are births of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, hath borne to Abraham;

and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
